YoYoJAM ENEME All Metal by JD

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

JD is back and gone full metal!

The ENEME™ is the full metal jacketed version of the Xconvict,
over-tweaked, redefined, and packed with play. It may look like a
different beast, but you’ll find all the similarities of the Xconvict on
your first throw, with even better grinds, slacks and stalls than ever
before.

The ENEME comes pre-stocked with a large .250 x .500 x .187 YoYoJAM speed
bearing and silicone response for serious unresponsive and competitive
play straight from the box.

Coming directly from the mind of JD, 2003 Regional, National & World Yo-Yo
Champion, the ENEME is truly “Built by the Player, for the player™”.

Keep your friends close… but your ENEME closer.

Pick this up at your favorite online retailer or through our easy to use shop!

YoYoJam at the 2009 World Yo-Yo Contest

Monday, August 31st, 2009

TEAM YoYoJam was at the World Yo-Yo Contest and brought a high level of play.
YoYoJam launched the Atmosphere – signature series of 2004 World Champion Makoto Numagami which was received well and is sure to be a favorite in the YYJ line up.
Prototypes were launched of the Night Moves 5 (new design by owner Dale Bell). This yo-yo features a tough nickel plated body with beautiful gold coated rims.
And Johnnie DelValle is in the works on a new ALL METAL design – the ENEME. Similar shape to a tweaked X-ConVict this yo-yo is nearing production with a few changes from the one at this years contest. This is bound to be an all time classic in metal yo-yos!

YoYoJam also proudly invited a new team member – IAN JOHNSON out of Illinois who is a strong and Up-And-Coming 4A, 1A, and 5A player!
Check out his profile here: IAN JOHNSON
